```cpp
const int solenoidPin = 9;  // Connect the solenoid to digital pin 9
void setup() {
  pinMode(solenoidPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(solenoidPin, HIGH);  // Turn the solenoid on
  delay(1000);  // Hold for 1 second
  digitalWrite(solenoidPin, LOW);  // Turn the solenoid off
  delay(1000);  // Hold for 1 second
}
```
### Example 2: Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Control using Raspberry Pi
In this example, we'll demonstrate PWM control of the solenoid electromagnet using a Raspberry Pi.

import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
solenoid_pin = 18  # Connect the solenoid to GPIO 18
GPIO.setup(solenoid_pin, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
    # Set PWM frequency to 50 Hz
    pwm = GPIO.PWM(solenoid_pin, 50)
# Increase the lifting force by increasing the duty cycle
    for dc in range(0, 101, 10):
        pwm.start(dc)
